Hi JP! I know you monitor the forum, so I figured it best to see if anyone else is having the same problem with this new version of KaraWin Pro. It seems every cdg file that plays delays before it gets to the following screen. I even tried to use the Lyrics Delay (Mp3) feature to correct the lag and it has no effect. I am using WIN98 2nd Edition (updates are current).

Ok, JP, let me be a bit more clear... I am using KaraWin Pro (newest update, version 1.0.8.0. build 050308) on a different system (before it was Win98 SE) that now has an Intel P4 processor with 2.40 GHz and 512 MB RAM. When I try to play mp3/cdg's such as those from ZOOM, the title screen fades out, but the song is already playing the first verse's backing track and the lyrics have not yet appeared. When they finally do appear, they scroll rapidly to "catch up" and then play fine until another "fade away" lyric screen appears. Then it repeats rapid scrolling until the lyrics have caught up again to the melody line. I'm wondering if any other users are having this same problem with ZOOM files and some others? Sorry, I would enjoy using this all the time, but I can't use the program out in live venues until this glitch is fixed; and I'm surely not going to pay for registration for a program that is unusable in a live setting. ~ The Minstrel

Well JP, I've updated the graphics driver (SiS650) and lowered the colors to 16 bit settings. Still the same effect. I've forwarded a file from ZOOM, "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp at your request so you can try it for yourself. I know it isn't just my system because it happens on the WIN98 SE system we own too. Hope this helps. Keep me informed.
